We believe that when families feel connected and supported, children thrive. That belief drives everything we do, both inside our school and throughout the Estero community.<\/p>\n<h3>Supporting the People Who Support Our Community<\/h3>\n<p>We are incredibly grateful for the people who serve our community every day. As a small way to give back, we offer a 10% tuition discount to first responders, healthcare workers, and teachers. These individuals play such an important role in our lives, and it\u2019s meaningful for us to be able to support them and their families.<\/p>\n<h3>Creating Connections for New and Current Families<\/h3>\n<p>Moving to a new area can feel overwhelming, especially for families with young children. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve built relationships with local HOAs to help connect new residents with trusted preschool options. We want families to feel welcomed and supported from the very beginning.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve also connected with local pediatricians and pediatric dentists so we can confidently recommend providers to our families. Each month, we donate children\u2019s books and custom-made hidden picture games to their offices to create engaging, positive experiences for kids. During visits, I also bring a small treat because strong relationships are built through consistency and care.<\/p>\n<h3>Partnering with Local Businesses<\/h3>\n<p>Building a strong community means supporting local businesses as well. We\u2019ve partnered with several local restaurants where we host faculty meetings, school events, and teacher appreciation gatherings. In return, these businesses have supported us through social media and community engagement, helping strengthen connections across Estero. I also regularly attend events with our local chamber of commerce to meet other business owners, learn about new resources, and share those opportunities with our families. It\u2019s a great way to stay connected and continue building meaningful relationships within the community.<\/p>\n<h3>Bringing Families Together<\/h3>\n<p>One of the most rewarding parts of what we do is creating opportunities for families to connect with one another.<\/p>\n<p>We host Parent Night Out events, where we care for children while parents have time to go out, relax, and connect. It\u2019s been wonderful to see friendships form between families who met through our school and many of these relationships continue well beyond the classroom. We\u2019ve also created unique experiences through connections within our own school community. One of our parents is a coach for the Florida Everblades, which led to us hosting a special Celebree School night at an Everblades game. It was an unforgettable experience for our families to come together outside of school and share something fun and memorable.<\/p>\n<h3>Showing Up in Our Community<\/h3>\n<p>We believe it\u2019s important to show up and be present in our community. We are proud to sponsor local events, including an upcoming HOA \u201cSchool\u2019s Out for Summer\u201d pool event, where we\u2019ll be on-site meeting families, answering questions, and sharing information about our programs.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re also hosting a community ice cream social, bringing families together for a simple, fun opportunity to connect with free ice cream for all the kids.<\/p>\n<h3>A Place to Belong<\/h3>\n<p>At Celebree School of Estero, our goal is to create more than just a school. We strive to build a place where families feel connected, supported, and proud to belong.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s through partnerships, events, or everyday interactions, we are committed to strengthening our community and creating meaningful experiences for the families we serve.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a preschool where your family will feel truly welcomed and connected, we\u2019d love to meet you.<\/p>\n<p><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover how Celebree School of Estero is building a strong childcare community through family connections, local partnerships, and meaningful events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":83,"featured_media":23239,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[400],"tags":[445,458,502,463,457,499,514,505,511,508],"class_list":["post-23221","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-celebree-school-estero","tag-childcare-estero","tag-community-childcare-program","tag-daycare-estero-fl","tag-early-childhood-education-estero","tag-estero-childcare-community","tag-family-engagement-childcare","tag-family-focused-childcare","tag-local-childcare-partnerships","tag-preschool-community-estero"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/www.celebree.com\/estero-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/04\/Estero-Egg-Hunt-resized-600x400.jpg","featured_image_src_square":"https:\/\/www.celebree.com\/estero-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/04\/Estero-Egg-Hunt-resized-600x600.jpg","author_info":{"display_name":"Paige Gugliuzza","author_link":"https:\/\/www.celebree.com\/estero-fl\/author\/pgugliuzza\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.celebree.com\/estero-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23221","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.celebree.com\/estero-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.celebree.com\/estero-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.celebree.com\/estero-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/83"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.celebree.com\/estero-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23221"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.celebree.com\/estero-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23221\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23254,"href":"https:\/\/www.celebree.com\/estero-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23221\/revisions\/23254"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.celebree.com\/estero-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23239"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.celebree.com\/estero-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23221"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.celebree.com\/estero-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23221"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.celebree.com\/estero-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
